• Cubs Interested In Jesus Luzardo
The Cubs already added Matthew Boyd to their rotation this winter but remain interested in adding another prominent name (if not someone at the top of the free agent market) to a starter group that already includes Shota Imanaga, Justin Steele, and Jameson Taillon as the top three. Such trade and free agent targets as…...2024

• Juan Soto, an update on where the Cubs stand, and Winter Meetings open thread

Photo by Vaughn Ridley/Getty Images A potpourri of things for you on Monday morning. Juan Soto has signed with the Mets. That, you already know, and you can read more reaction in this morning’s Outside The Confines. You knew he wasn’t coming to the Cubs, right? I think we all knew that, or should have. Here’s the only thing I have to say about that. The Cubs have made it pretty clear that ...2024

• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1939

Getty Images It would be the last time the Cubs would be near contention until 1945. Coming off their 1938 NL pennant, the Cubs got off to a good start in 1939, winning five of their first six. But then they lost seven of nine and were never really in serious contention after that, though they did manage to get to 70-56 in early September, 6½ games out of first place. A 14-14 finish produc...2024

Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via Getty Images The righthander has had an up-and-down career. Jack Flaherty was a first-round pick of the Cardinals (34th overall) in 2014 out of a very famous baseball high school, Harvard-Westlake in Los Angeles. Other successful pitchers (Max Fried, Lucas Giolito) attended that school. So did Pete Crow-Armstrong, as you probably know. Flaherty had som...2024

Starting pitching was one of the strengths of the 2024 Cubs, particularly lefthanders Shōta Imanaga and Justin Steele. So why not go after another left, free agent Max Fried, who’s spent the last eight years with the Atlanta Braves? Fried has been pretty consistent over his caree...2024
